I don't anyone was doubting what you've seen, Pat. Yeah, misinformation and lies are permeating the air and web waves. All too easy to put them out, since there seem to be so few interested in facts. Truth doesn't get a lot of "likes" or retweets. Gotta have something sensational for those...

To be honest, what I find more concerning is that this is coming from a doctor who has a platform on YouTube able to reach thousands or millions of people. I want to believe he’s doing this out of actual concern and ignorance + lack of research.

Dang, someone found part of a brain!

From that link:

"There have a rash of vaping illnesses around the United States. Levine said “initial findings in Pennsylvania and across the country indicate patients were vaping illicit products, primarily recreational marijuana or other unregulated products with THC.”"

Yeah, that'd be great...if more than 10% of the population actually read past the headline. Seems the majority of the populace now thinks in memes and headlines, and can't be bothered to comprehend anything deeper.

Also, seems as though our Pres is backtracking a bit. So maybe we're doing something right. Please, keep tweeting, facebooking, signing petitions, calling the WH....

Trump has been getting educated about vaping. I say that because I believe if he knew the facts he would not be issuing a nationwide flavor ban. And if it’s true he hasn’t been getting the facts he needs to tell his DHHS Secretary to pack up his desk and get the hell out.

“One of the largest concerns with vaping is that we do not know many of the chemicals and additives contained in the products.”
-- State Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine

Wrong. I know exactly what's in mine.
There’s not many ingredients in e-liquid to begin with so her claim is utterly ignorant. And dopes like this shape public policy.

In an interview I recall Roslyn Carter (First Lady) said her grandmother advised her, you never have to regret something you didn't say. (Somebody please pass that along to Trump.) The Pres should have stayed out of this but may be we'll be better off because of it. Now he's got to take time away from N Korea, Iran, China, et al and learn more about vaping because the backlash to his vaping comments was much stronger than anticipated. His aides should have protected him from stumbling into this minefield.

The flavor ban isn't going to work, not in 30 days and not next May. Vaping is a basket of cats and there are millions of cats.

Agree. Cabinet secretaries and advisors are supposed to present all sides of an issue and even present their opinion. It’s up to the prez to make the final decision. Something was missing in this process.

I kind of expected this. I've watched Pres. Trump long enough to know that he often does this to get everyone talking about something, so both sides get out into the mainstream. Or he's negotiating by starting with a really tough position and going to something more acceptable to all parties. When it sounds like he's talking off the cuff, he's really not. It's for a reason. Remember after the shootings he mentioned "red flag" laws, but has endorsed no red flag laws and has actually spoken against them on numerous occassions.

Well, one thing is for certain. It's not the ghost town around here that it was just a few weeks ago. I've never seen so many notifications, posts, and so much activity here. Speaking of conspiracy theories, does anyone think Oliver hacked @RealDonaldTrump's twitter account to boost membership?:p

Guess I'm pessimistic, nothing in that post says he isn't still going through with a flavor ban. Could just be trying to get us off his back for now.

Not sure if this has been posted before--if so, I apologize. Anyway, got an email from CASAA:



So I'm sharing. I'm not sure why it's not posted on CASAA subforum...

@kristin ?

My fault. I got crazy busy yesterday dealing with members freaking out and completely spaced posting it here. I was up until midnight trying to catch up. I wasn't even able to do the regular news updates! All of the members should have gotten the email you did, though.

My apologies!
